I would treat this like a player in the lane for 2 1/2 seconds and is thrown the ball. You delay the count if he is making a move to the basket. if he passes off then you continue the count.
I would catch the ball throw it to the player and continue the count.

This is a play where the new inbounder is just staring at the ball, sees the official is counting, then picks it up and throws it towards the official. I'm not delaying anything.
At the end of a game, there's no way the player is throwing it to the official in my game. Either they've already tried it and I've dealt with it, or they've been doing it correctly all game and it's even more obvious that this is an attempt to cheat the system.
Best case scenario, I stop the clock and re-administer the throwin.
If I'm quick enough, I move and let it fly. B1 knows better.
